๐Ÿš€Hey there, BTC enthusiasts!๐Ÿš€

Get ready for a rollercoaster ride this July as the long-awaited restitution for users of the defunct Mt. Gox exchange is finally on the horizon!๐ŸŽข But hold onto your hats, folks, because this could potentially cause a few ripples in the market.๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Bitcoin has been on a bit of a downward slide since June, struggling to gain momentum despite some ETF inflows. On July 3rd, it briefly dipped under $60,000 before bouncing back a little, only to take a bigger hit the next day.๐Ÿ“‰

The latest data suggests a "subdued" Q3 for Bitcoin, thanks to the uncertainty surrounding Mt. Gox's fund distribution.๐Ÿค”

According to QCP Capital, we can expect Bitcoin's price to stay relatively calm. Despite a surge in the US equity market following Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's statement about a disinflationary trajectory, Bitcoin and Ethereum haven't found any relief, hovering around $57,000 and $3,000 respectively.๐Ÿ“Š

The options market is leaning towards the topside, hinting at a possible year-end rally. This is backed by significant buying interest in longer-term options at the 100k and 120k strike prices.๐ŸŽฏ

However, QCP Capital warns that Bitcoin might have a "subdued" Q3 performance, mainly due to the market uncertainty about the potential supply impact from the upcoming Mt. Gox release.๐ŸŒŠ

The Mt. Gox saga began when the exchange lost 850,000 Bitcoin in investor funds in 2014. Now, $9.4 billion worth of Bitcoin is owed to around 127,000 creditors of Mt. Gox. These folks have been waiting for over 10 years to recover their funds!๐Ÿ’ฐ

While the upcoming distribution is a huge relief for the affected users, it's also sparked concerns about further selling pressure in the market. So, buckle up, BTC fans, it's going to be an interesting ride!๐Ÿš€
